The changes to the Riverbed Partner Program include:
The four competencies as part of the 2014 program are WAN Optimization, Storage Delivery, Application Delivery and Performance Management. Partners must be certified on the products that are part of a specific competency in order to receive program benefits relating to those products.

"We are investing in key areas to simplify the program, improve partner opportunities and differentiate and reward partners based on their competency and investment in Riverbed products and solutions. We are making these enhancements to accelerate growth, expand into new markets and better serve our customers."

"Riverbed has put tremendous thought into this new program framework and structure," said John Coleman, director of NetComm, Product and Partner Management at CDW. "We are looking forward to continued participation and success as our two companies collaborate to support our joint customers."
"This is a healthy change," said Mike Nowlan, vice president - Security, Virtualization and Networking at Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a Riverbed partner. "Riverbed has brought on a number of products over the last two years and a program change makes sense. We are seeing other product manufacturers making similar changes."
